I can't upload pictures from my Sony DSC-S650.

Whenever I plug the USB cable into my camera, the screen goes black. It does it even when the cable isn't plugged into the computer. Even though the screen is black the camera still functions normally but it won't let me upload anything.

I have the same issue with my DSC s650 , I showed it to a Sony Service center they said its a CCD issue might need to replace that. The cost for replacement in India (Pune) was 2250.So I thought of buying a new one at say 4K INR

DSC-S650 is plug and play digital camera, connect it in USB port of computer, Windows will detect it and install required drivers automatically, you will see Device Ready to use message then go to my computer and click on Mass Storage icon click it to copy pictures.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

An easy way to find out is to try another cable. Better yet, consider NOT using the USB connection at all.

As far as I know, most cameras are made so that once it senses a USB cable (whether as being inserted physically or as a source of current), it reduces the camera to pretty much no more than a memory card reader. It is my belief this is so you can't use your camera directly with your computer, either as a web cam or using your computer as an immediate storage device.
